This Weird History Food video is gonna stick to the roof of your mouth. We're talking Peanut Butter. The peanut butter industry has been thriving for decades. With a wide variety of brands, tastes, and textures, it is one of the most versatile foods on the market. Due to a large assortment of culinary applications, peanut butter can be found almost anywhere. Some people would rather stick to the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, while others use the ingredient in everything they can, including ice creams, cookies, salads, soups, burgers, and even drinks.

If you've never put peanut butter on pancakes, waffles or French toast you are definitely missing out

[@deebee8825]

Waffles yes, so amazing with peanut butter.

[@katla_phc]

yup, making a PBJ with pancakes for bread is the best

[@V.Hansen.]

Pb plus maple syrup 👌 delicious

[@galaxyhyrule9859]

Just to clarify, Peanuts are native to south AMERICA, not south Africa.... Later in the video they mentioned that they were introduced to the rest of the world by the Spanish, which is correct.

Melted peanut butter over vanilla ice cream topped with crushed peanut brittle is YUMMY!!

[@LazyLifeIFreak]

Id rather eat the vanilla ice cream with berries and fresh fruit tbh, the acidity balances out the sweet vanilla.

Correction: Peanuts originated in South AMERICA. You said South Africa, but then went on to say Spanish explorers introduced them to Africa… so that’s impossible. Not to mention the Incas created peanut butter prior to ever meeting the Spaniards.

[@TheSuperdsp]

I’ve lived my entire life with a crippling fear of peanut butter. I never knew what was wrong with me, and I always thought I was a freak… alone in the world… that I would never find love. Recently, I made the decision that I couldn’t live like this anymore. What I was doing couldn’t even be called living, so I started my journey of healing, and began to slowly expose myself to peanut butter and peanut butter related materials. A search for “inoffensive peanut butter content” lead me to this video, and when I heard the narrator describe my exact phobia, I finally felt validated for the first time in my life. Thank you weird history for saving me from my suffocating solace

[@thechosengirlreviews]

As a diabetic, I can only eat the non sugar/natural kind of peanut butter, but I've actually come to prefer it over the too sugary tasting Jiffy. But I can only eat small amounts otherwise it upsets my stomach. There's nothing like a nice soft PB&J though.

[@Buccarado]

Yeah the sugar peanut butter actually tastes like garbage compared to the real thing

[@youtubepurgatory]

my dad being an RN only fed us natural peanut butter growing up. In my mid twenties now and I can’t go near that sweet stuff with a ten foot pole without gagging LOL it just tastes so wrong😭 and nothing at all like peanuts

[@lerneanlion]

If the peanut butter sandwich has been grilled like the grilled cheese sandwich, will it taste better?

[@JillWhitcomb1966]

I make a grilled peanut butter sandwich on multi-grained bread, with smooth peanut butter, raspberry jam, fresh raspberries or black berries, and a few chopped peanuts or walnuts. Once you grill it in the cast iron frying pan, the peanut butter gets gooey. And, by adding fresh berries and jam, it elevates it to gourmet level.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

@@JillWhitcomb1966 That sounds delicious ^_^

[@agentp6621]

The army loves peanut butter in MREs. They pack it with fortified vitamins so they can say you got the right amount of nutrition. If you watch any vintage ration reviews online. You’ll almost always find that as most food has spoiled. The peanut butter is still perfectly edible. The lack of water and the balance of fully hydrogenated oils gives it amazing shelf life.

[@SimuLord]

Steve1989 always makes it sound like it's delicious.

[@mikaeleriksen2994]

JIF Creamy Reduced Fat is god-tier peanut butter, and good luck convincing me otherwise. Peanut Butter & Co. is pretty good too though

[@fiskie49]

Speak for yourself !! I grew up on Skippy PB, but after I matured and tried unadulterated peanut butter, I was won over. Peanuts in their pure state, with a little bit of salt, is unassailable. Others can add sugar and hydrogenated oil to their peanuts, but not me. Besides, how can you state that "nobody likes" pure organic PB, when it represents a significant portion of the market? Oh well.

[@FlashoftheBlades]

After a grueling endurance workout on my Rollerblade Macroblade 110 3WD inline skates, my favorite recovery meal consists of two layers of Jif Natural Creamy Peanut Butter (the one without the hydrogenated oils that also doesn’t need to be refrigerated) holding a layer of Aunt Sue’s Raw and Unfiltered Wildflower Honey, a sliced Chiquita banana (or whatever brand that’s available) and one of Smucker’s Blackberry Fruit Spreads (their sugar-free seedless blackberry jam is the easiest one of this flavor to find without going online), all brought together between two slices of Private Selection Wide-Pan Whole Wheat Bread. After working up that kind of an appetite, this sandwich really hits the spot. Mmm, so good.

Jif pb all the way for me. I actually a number of years ago did a taste test between it and Skippy. Suffice as to say jif won out.
